  Specification Summary

  Characteristics

Dielectric Strength

Capacitors withstand a DC potential of 1.5 x rated 

voltage for one (1) minute without damage or 

breakdown. Test voltage is applied and discharged 

through a minimum resistance of 100 OHMS per volt 

minimum.

Dissipation Factor

Polypropylene has an intrinsic dissipation factor of 

less than 2.1x 10-4 over the operating temperature 

range of -55°C to +105°C and frequencies to 1MHz.

Capacitance Range

0.5μF to 50.0μF

Capacitance Tolerance

Standard capacitance tolerance is ±10%.  Tolerances of ±20% and 
±5% are also avaiable.
NOTE: Capacitance is measured at 25°C, and at, or referred to, a 
frequency of 1kHz for all values.

Operating Temperature Range

-55°C to +105°C

Enclosure/Construction

Extended metallized polypropylene film.

Voltage Rating

400 VDC to 3300 VDC

Quality Control

Capacitors are tested 100% for:

 

• Capacitance

 

• Tolerance

 

• Dissipation Factor

 

• Dielectric withstanding voltage

 

• Insulation Resistance

 

• Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)

Process and inspection data are maintained on file and available

upon special request.

CAPACITANCE IN PICOFARADS

The first two digits are significant figures, the third digit represents the number of zeros

to follow to express the capacitance in picofarads (e.g 506=50,000,000pF) 
TOLERANCE

M = ±20%, K = ±10%, J = ±5%

Marking And Date Code

All capacitors are marked with company initials "EC", corporate logo or EC trademark—in addition to type MP80, capacitance, tolerance, 

rated DC working voltage and date code. The first two digits of the date code represent the year, the second two digits the week, i.e., 1252 is 

the 52nd week of 2012, 1202 is the second week of 2012.

Quality Assurance

Major emphasis is placed on quality assurance. EC is an ISO 9001 and AS9100 Certified Company. Raw material inspection and the use of 

SPC manufacturing procedures assure the highest quality standards. Procedures are fully described in the EC Quality Control Manual. 

Electronic Concepts will continue to advance the state-of-the-art by utilizing leading edge technology, compact capacitor designs and 

establishing reliability procedures.

The EC MP80 represents the first Snubber circuit power capacitor that is designed to fit IGBT terminal spacing for direct 

mounting.  The  result  is  a  drastic  reduction  of  inductance  to  levels  not  previously  attainable  with  conventional  leaded 

capacitors. This was accomplished by the in-house development of a revolutionary way to build a capacitor with minimal 

inductance, without lead wires.

The benefit to the power converter designer is measurable cost savings as a result of simplification of both the system design 

and manufacturing operation. Because of its wide voltage range and exceptional electrical characteristics, the MP80 is well 

suited  for  across-the-buss  power  usages,  which  includes  electric  vehicles,  motor  applications,  controllers,  high  power 

inverters and power conditioning systems.
